Dr. Mustafa preformed a drainless tummy tuck with muscle repair and breast lift with a small reduction to my left breast in January. Him and his office staff are amazing and made me feel so comfortable. My results turned out great and I healed fast and perfectly with no issues. Will definitly go back to him if I wish to have any future work.
Just had a breast augmentation done on August 23rd and it was the bigest mistake of my life. I regret it so much. I quit trying to make sense of it and just looking forward to the explant. My husband told me before i had the ba that he thinks im perfect the way i am but he wanted me to be happy also and that he will always be attracted to me no matter what.... he is the best husband in the world! Why did I do this when I wasent really that un-satisied with thecway I look??? And my husband was happy also??? The best thing about all this craziness is that he supports me no matter what I do. Its only been around 12 days of having these implants in and I feel sooo fake.... just not myself. One thing I learned is that I dont need to change anything about myself. Im perfect the way I am. Dont know why I ever thought different. But thats okay cause im going to hold my head up high and accept that I had a ba and get them removed and move on. Dr.Mastafa is an awesome doctor, he did a wonderful job on my implants and was very informative but these implants just weren't for me... too bad I didn't realize that before I had it done! He also said in 31 years he has never had a patient change their mind so soon... lol. So he is going to explant free of charge! Updated on 6 Sep 2013: Playing the waiting game today.. im a worryy wart. Mastafa says its pretty much painless and very quick to have them removed, just some incision discomfort. Nothing like the pain from the ba, thank god. That was un-bearable for a couple of days. Im sooo nervous and excited!! But I cant wait to get back to my all natural self again! Updated on 7 Sep 2013: Updated on 11 Sep 2013: Feel great.. no pain! Love my all natural self! Updated on 21 Sep 2013: Nasty virus had me glued to my bed for 5 days.... still sick but slowly getting better. It got so bad that I went to the E.R. thought I was also dehydrated but cbc looked good. My heart was racing. Which scared me sssdooo much. Annyway, im thinking that my body has been through too much in too little time. So my immune system was down making it easier to catch all the little bugs going around. Ba on aug 23rd then explant on sept 11th then kidney infection 4 days later then viral infection 2 days after that Updated on 23 Sep 2013: Still emptier at top but getting better :) Updated on 23 Sep 2013: Yay!
i am currently over 6 months post op. this was the first surgery i've ever had, and i made sure to tell everyone in the office so that they knew i was extremely nervous. my first impression of dr. mustafa was excellent. he seemed to know what he was doing, granted he spent a total of 10 minutes with me before he decided the size/shape etc. which i just chalked down to experience. surgery went well, i went home the same day with a prescription some meds. i had my first post op appointment the next day so that they could check my incisions. again, spend a total of 5 minutes in the building, 1 of those minutes with the dr himself. my next post op was at 6 weeks. i had already found small issues with my implants, but i was prepared to hear that i just needed to wait more time. i voiced my concerns with him at the appointment, to which he completely shrugged off and said 'no one will notice'. definitely not the response i was looking for. i ended up doing my own research and came to the conclusion that maybe i just needed to wait more time. it was still early and hopefully when the skin settles/stretches it will look more how i want it to. 6 months post op, im still having the same issues, if not worse. i have emailed him several times, simply just looking for reassurance and to schedule an appointment to voice my concerns and i'll give him a chance to put my concerns to rest. instead, he replied to my email extremely rude, said 'didn't we already talk about this?' and telling me that performing a surgery to fix the issue would 'cause more scar tissue' - isn't it up to ME whether i opt for a surgery to make the appearance more to my taste? not only all of this, but i've asked for my pre-op pictures several times up to this point and they keep dodging my requests. i would be fine if he told me that i have to wait, to keep being patient and that if later on down the road i'm still unhappy, then we can do something about it. but instead he tells me there's nothing 'visually wrong' even though there are obvious issues and to essentially 'get over it'. i'm extremely disappointed with how he handled the situation. i understand that the issue itself isn't necessarily his fault, there are many factors to play, but at least a LITTLE accountability, or at least take a moment to LISTEN to my concerns instead of dismissing them completely. i have already contacted another surgeon and had a consult, and they agree that the concerns i have are valid and we will be scheduling a revision soon.
